You can say what you want about the EcoQuest machines but I am living proof that the machines work! I tried the machine due to odors in my home. I had an apartment that used to be a chicken hatchery, the carpet was 30 years old, only had small windows on the side where the bedrooms were and they weren't open because there was a dirt driveway right next to them. When the apartment was constructed it was built right over existing mold issues so it was a toxic waste dump to start with, add the 30 year old carpet and the lack of fresh oxygen and you had a nightmare! I was constantly sick, my teenage son had asthma, and we all snored like freight trains. But like I said, I tried it for the odor eliminating benefits. We had two German Sheppards, a cat, and 7 fish tanks on top of all the old furnishings. The odors hit me in the face the second I opened the door and immediately I was defeated. Three days into my trial I was thinking the machine was a waste of time and had planned on calling the sales person to come and get it. Luckily I got busy and didn't. On day four when I came through my door (I worked the midnight shift in a local factory) I was hit in the face with FRESH AIR! I was in such disbelief that I closed the door, went back outside for a few minutes and then opened my front door again. It was true! My home smelled clean! I broke out into tears I was so happy! I wanted to keep it just for that but my husband didn't think it was worth the amount of money they were asking for it. So two days later I asked them to come take it away because we couldn't afford it. Again luck was on my side and the sales person wasn't able to schedule a pick up date for two more weeks. During that time I noticed that I had no dust to speak of. I also noticed that the snoring was had been nearly eliminated, my teens acne was next to nothing and even though I didn't realize it I was feeling better than I had in a long time! Still my husband said we couldn't afford to spend that much on the machine. Working at the factory that I worked at and living in the toxic zone my lungs were shot. All I had to do was walk past someone smoking a cigarette and the next day I had the beginnings of pneumonia, ear infections, and strep throat. I was getting pneumonia a minimum of 4 times a year. I soon learned how to stay out of the hospital by going to my doctor for the first episode, St. Jos the second time, then to the Arnot hospital the third, and then back to my family physician. This way none of them were aware of how often I had pneumonia so they couldn't admit me for it (after all we couldn't afford for me to miss work). I have not had pneumonia since I have purchased the machine! I love my machine! My parents use them (both sets) and this year for Christmas I will be buying both of my children and their new families a machine for their homes. That decision was made last night when I learned that my grandson has a classmate with the H1N1! Oh, you may be wondering what changed my husbands’ mind about the machine. We were sitting watching TV and he saw dust in the air. He said, “Hey, what’s up with that? I don’t remember seeing that before.” I told him that we used to have it all the time, but during the time we had the machine the air was so clean that we didn’t have the dust particles and that he got used to not seeing them. He said, call them back! We want the machine! You should truly try these machines for yourself before making any judgment calls.

I was an EcoQuest Dealer for several years; late '90s to 2004-05. Always liked the products. They do (did) work to clear the air of dust, pet and other odors. Work GREAT on cigarette smoke. ( I sold quite a few to area bars and clubs).

Darned hard product to make any real money with though. The only REAL money is in big-time recruiting, and I'm just not comfortable with that. The problem is that it is a Multi-Level. The up-line just eats too much money to leave viable profits for the people DOWN-line!!!

But that is true of pretty much ALL multi-levels that I've been involved in; which is why I quit doing them after Eco-Quest. What you pay for the product as a distributor is pretty much all the product is worth; i.e., Retail.

By the way Steve; love your site. Been on here numerous times.

I owned one of the original Alpine machines and absolutely loved it! It played out on me. I started shopping for another. Someone put me in touch with a couple that represent Ecoquest and they sold me the new version of their air purifier. What a nightmare? They duped us into buying a package(2,500) "Oh you can sell these easy?" So we became a distributor. Well, I got stuck with 5 junk machines and THEY TOOK A CRUISE AT MY EXPENSE!!! They hounded me until that sell went through and then I never heard from them again. On to my machines. I can't get the backs off for cleaning. The customer representative I talked to just said "Take a screwdriver to it" Lady you don't take a screwdriver to a 850.00 machine. I tried to return them but they would only give me half of what I paid for them. I did sell one and the rest I gave away. We also have to pry the backs off for the people we gave them to. They don't clean the air-my home smells horrible. Now the one in the kitchen is making a surging noise and it shuts off. The control panel is jammed on the other one so I have to use the remote. I'm just upset that I lost 2,500 and I got stuck with junk!

I always find it interesting the comments people have about Ecoquest, however they are most always opinions and not facts that are perhaps because of not meeting expectations. Ecoquest never claims to be perfect and they have always strived to make things better. As far as the creditability for those that are doing there research please review the below resources, yes most are on the Ecoquest website, however the creditability is from outside sources. To date they are the only homebased business that is registered with the bbbonline (Ecoquest, Greeneville,TN) that I know of please tell me if you know different
Other sources:
activepure learn about scientific testing by KSU and OSU
spacefoundation learn why they have a lifetime space certification by NASA
For those that believe that the technology is a ozone generater ask your dealer to compare the ozone that is being emitted by the technology indoors against the air outdoors I believe most will be suprised with the results. For those that are interested, learn more about ozone by going to understandingozone The ozone used in the Ecoquest technologies is well below the FDA standards Not to mention the technology was used by the Pentagon after 9/11 and still is in current use.
They work actively with the Red Cross during natural diasters.
You can also read the book "Fresh Air for Life" by Dr. Allan C. Somersall which can be found in most bookstores to learn more about this technology. Hopefully this information has helped someone to make an informed decision on what rights for them

I did something most will not do when I first saw this product. I ask the guy if I could rent his machine for a month. If I liked it I would buy it. After 1 week of it running in my home we noticed some interesting things,alot of dust After 2 weeks We slept better, The 3rd week We didn't have to worry about dust allergies, We loved that a cat smell we couldn't get rid of was gone. Needless to say we bought not only that one but 6 more(we became distributors). We placed one in the school class room of my daughter for the school year. The teacher found after a short time she felt much better she also noticed grades going up. Parents were calling wanting to try out machines. the teacher and 9 parents bought and loved what it did for their home. I am not here to tell you their marketing plan is the best, but the product does work. I am a firm believer in that. We sold a lot of machines in homes and business and always were checking back with our customers we had a few(4)that were not happy within the first 12 months. We bought it back minus a rental fee, which they were happy with. We got in when it was called Alpine. We ended up getting out when Ecoquest came into being. We didn't like where it was going (pills, potions and lotions)we had our fill of everyone trying to sell everything but the machines. Telling us we had to use all of our products. Reminded me of Amway. We made good money with this company, we had lots of fun, helped alot of people. So try the machines if you like it but don't want to spend the money you can always find a used one on Ebay.

The technologies that this company has are excellent. Hands down to any other air purifier on the market today. I have had the air purifier in my home well over 5 years and I have never had a problem and have updated my machine also. The new technology and updates that their company is coming out with are even better than before. As for losing money as a distributor, no one makes anyone lose anything. One chooses to spend or not to spend as in any network marketing or MLM. We are responsible for what we do or don't do in any business. This company can in no way be compared to Amway. Belief me, I attempted Amway and I don't like to anounce that mistake too often. I am not a distributor of this company but maybe I should be. As in any sucessful company there is always going to be pitfalls as in our own lives. It is how we overcome those pitfalls that really matter and Ecoquest has truly overcome! Good Luck to you all!

The product is very good, but the business is a scam, the company owns everything that you need to make it in the business, charging you hundreds and hundreds of dollars to sell there purifiers. It costs way too much money to make it and it is just like amway, don't let them tell you any different!

Lost our shirt with this business, products are always breaking down. Don't recommend it, the "opportunity" that is. They are not fond of gays either.

The products do work for some people, but that's when they work.

Hello Evelyn, As someone who has really seen this technology work time and time again, I would definitely call EcoQuest again. This is an awesome company with amazing values and I am convinced that you will get what you need. I feel like maybe the email either got lost or wasn't sent as an error and was not done intentionally. Please know I have seen many people helped in many different ways by this technology and feel that I know this company well enough to to know that they would never sell anything that would harm anyone in any way...God Bless and thanks.

Dear Mr. Albright We purchased an EcoQuest ozone producing air cleaner three years ago. After reading the Consumers Report on the dangers of these Ozone producing machines I called the company customer service department and Tasha said she would email me a report which would show these ozone emissions are not any danger. Needless to say, I never received this report. She also seemed to not be concerned that my husband, who has asbestoses, might have had more damage than good from being exposed to the ozone. She more or less told me that EcoQuest does not deal with the customer and I should get in touch with the distributor who sold us the machine. Do you have any advise for how we should proceed with this. problem? thanks.
